Arbitration
Filing an Arbitration Demand
Filing the arbitration demand is the first step in any Vilulia Arbitrate case. The demand captures the claimant's claims, the amounts sought, and the respondent's information, creating a formal case record that all subsequent proceedings — discovery, hearings, and the award — are attached to.

Filing the demand
From the Cases list, click Create New Case and select Arbitration as the case type. You will be prompted to enter:
- Claimant — name and contact details of the initiating party. Can be a simple name string or a structured object with first name, last name, email, phone, and organization.
- Respondent — name and contact details of the opposing party (same format as claimant).
- Arbitration type — one of: Binding, Non-Binding, High-Low, Baseball, or Night Baseball.
- Arbitration rules — the governing ruleset: AAA, JAMS, FMCS, FINRA, or Custom.
- Case description — a description of the claims being asserted.
- Amount claimed (optional) — the total monetary amount being sought.
- Attorneys' fees claimed (optional) — separate amount for attorneys' fees.
- Legal representatives (optional) — claimant and respondent representative names and emails for notification routing.
Appointing an arbitrator
After the demand is filed, an arbitrator can be appointed to the case from the case record. Vilulia supports multi-arbitrator panels — you can appoint multiple arbitrators to a single case for panel arbitration workflows.
AI demand analysis
Once a demand is on file, arbitrators on the Professional plan can run the Analyze Demand AI tool. This tool reviews the demand and summarizes the legal claims, applicable standards, and likely defenses — giving the arbitrator a structured orientation to the dispute before proceeding to discovery.
